8 111 112 Craig Benedict: I was just discussing that with Michael Harvey. We tried to get grants for the removal and 113 deconstruction of them. It's not a building code issue. We can't use our dilapidated housing ordinance because it's 114 not a building code structure; it's a licensed vehicle. We do have problems with the enforcement of that. We would 115 like work with our solid waste department to see if there is a way to haul them away and dispose of them. We'll write 116 as an initiative. 117 118 Paul Guthrie: Does the Health Code help you in that? 119 120 Craig Benedict: If it attracted vermin or something like that we could bring the health department forward. The solid 121 waste department helps with debris and our own enforcement for junk vehicles, but there are still other issues that tie 122 in there. 123 124 Paul Guthrie: We have to have some funding source. Are there other grants still available or would it have to be a 125 direct allocation from the commissioner? 126 127 Craig Benedict: Most likely a direct allocation. Some of the mobile home parks are in the path of development. We 128 are finding that some of the mobile homes cannot be moved into the city because of age and city standards. We 129 have modified some of our home park regulations to allow some movement and removal of these older homes. 130 131 Randy Marshall: It will be incumbent on the county at some point in time to try to create communities for the people 132 who are being displaced in the municipalities. 133 134 Craig Benedict: We have a new housing director who has been very proactive with these issues called a Rapid 135 Response Mobile Home Displacement Committee. 136 137 Lydia Wegman: Just on the clustering of rural areas, it that related to the rural buffer? 138 139 Craig Benedict: It could include the rural buffer. If you offer more open space you can cluster more. We will 140 examine if there is any interest in doing something like that. Is it viable to the private development community to see 141 how it works? 142 143 Craig Benedict: Are there any other emerging issues to put on the list coming up? We will turn this in in the next 144 couple weeks. If anything comes up send an email to Meredith or Perdita or Myself or Tina and we'll add a footnote 145 on the page. 146 147 Paul Guthrie: In your report to the commissioner,will you put in there what your future vision for the county is and all 148 the aspects that you are involved with? 149 150 Craig Benedict: Yes and no. There have been questions about the locations of our economic development areas 151 and if they are buildable. Location wise they are, utility wise to a good degree, but are there other issues that should 152 be examined. Every time we bring this forward,there is a background question about that vision. Where do you 153 grow,where do you not grow? Are regulations protecting our water sheds enough on the curb growth in certain 154 areas, and are there other areas where we should prompt development to improve the tax base? If we can push 155 environment, economic development, social equity, and push them together with a good planning model and have an 156 area that would address those areas. 157 158 Kim Piracci: Climate change is coming and as we saw with Michael, the buildings on the Florida coast that were built 159 to a certain standard withstood the hurricane. This seems to be something to think about in terms of future 160 development. 161 162 Craig Benedict: There have been some comprehensive plans that include a climate element and the resiliency of 163 flooding and climate.We will write that down. Planning gets into those areas. 164
